Would something like this work to protect a desk top on a new wood desk. Looking for a "desk top" type film that will be clear and not come up. Thx.

I wouldn't recommend it, the stickiness is not meant for something like that and I often have to add some tape to keep it down.

It might peel up around the edges after some use but it should do the trick. It looks just like lamination so it would look like you have a plastic cover on your desk but it is totally transparent. It comes off clean when you pull it as well so it wouldn't leave residue if you peeled it off after a while. If you stick it to paper though, it is pretty firm.

The laminate does not have very good adhesion so the edges lift quite easily.

That's an interesting application idea. I use mine to protect the upholstery on the floor of my car. The sides which are not covered by the factory accessory mat. It clings well to the fibers and I installed it a year ago. It appears quite clear to this day and it has endured great temperature changes over that period of time. You'll probably see it on the desk yet that is not a bad thing in view of the protection.

I would think that you would be able to use the protector and prevent any more damage to your screen. I hope that this will do the trick. Thanks for reaching out. Let me know if this tip helped.

I used this on a bathroom vessel sink countertop(teak)...but i put over several coats of tung oil as that was my initial plan. It is 100% water/toothpaste etc proof. As far as scratches, I don't know if anything can protect wood from that...what application are you thinking that would expose it to scratching...

I mounted mine to the side of a wooden desk by using "Industrial Strength Velcro"....it has held in place for about 4 months....just make sure you have the surface very clean and dry when applying the Velcro.

I tested it and you can write but the material of the map on top of the desk is slightly bumpy. I use a desk mat on my desk's top to keep it scratches that will happen over time. You might want to do the same if you purchase the desk.

I just double checked with my wife and neither one us remember any protective coating film. If you think that there might be some type I'd contact the mfg.Good luck.

I would ask someone from the paint store. This has a different finish than a normal wood desk (veneer that is plastic like). I do refinishing on small projects and I wouldn't try it without asking the paint guy for a special paint.

That desk top is very durable. You would have to bear down on it with something pretty hard for it to actually scratch the surface.

sorry....but i have it on my daughters desk which does not have a computer...we are just using it for protection of the wood.

It is metal on the bottom, so it would scratch your desk moving it back and forth. I have a nice computer desk I don't want scratched. I glued felt strips to both sides of the metal base supports on the bottom. That will do the trick. This unit is nice sturdy metal and quality construction.

Not sure if this will help, but I used it over wood that had polyurethane on it that I didn't sand off...it stayed wonderfully (and actually required less coats). It's made to stick on top of a material (like laminate). If your oiled wood is older, and/or you sand it down well, it would probably stick. Otherwise, if it doesn't work, you might be surprised about what else you can think to use it on! A little can goes a long way, so maybe just try the smaller size! I love this stuff!

The product I used was only for laminate counter top, but I think this company makes the same type of product for solid surfaces such as corian. I would certainly try it. I love what it has done for my laminate counter tops.

Goes on basically clear, supposedly protects wood and allows it to grey over time. suggest you call the company.

I would give it a try. The colors did not match my wood exactly at first look but when I used it, it really hid the scratches. it does not fill in the scratches but draws your eye away from them.

I use it on a wood laminate desk. It doesn't stick and isn't difficult to slide. I would highly recommend this product.

We have used this product on soft wood and then covered with varnish or a wood sealer and it has worked fine. We have not used it and then put a stain over it. I suggest you take a scrap piece of wood and apply the wood hardener and then the stain. My concern would be the stain does not cover evenly or uniformly over the wood and the hardener

I used it to reproduce some graphics on my bike, I'd say the wood would have be sealed and or painted to give it a good surface to stick to. But I really don't know if this would be the right stuff for a desk.
